The Transcript

For the North Adams, Massachusetts, newspaper, see North Adams Transcript.

The Transcript, published at Ohio Wesleyan University, is the oldest independent college student newspaper in the United States.[1]

The newspaper dates back to 1867 when it first appeared under the name Western Collegian. Joseph B. Battelle was the first editor of Western Collegian, at that time a student at Ohio Wesleyan University. Following his graduation from Wesleyan, Battelle would become one of the most prominent journalists at Toledo Blade.

Charles W. Fairbanks served as a co-editor of the Western Collegian. After graduation, Fairbanks went on to become a U.S. Senator and Vice-President of the U.S. under Theodore Roosevelt.
